White Bone Monkey King

swish swish——

swish swish——

In the peaceful mountain forest, there was suddenly a loud movement.

It sounded like the chaotic footsteps of a wild animal running in the bushes.

As the sound gets louder.

The unseen beast behind the bushes was also approaching quickly.

suddenly!

A black shadow stumbled out from behind the bushes. It was not a wild beast, but a seriously injured man running for his life in the forest.

The man was wearing a black shirt and was a lean old man in his sixties. However, there was a huge wound on his waist, which almost tore the man's waist off and was dripping with blood.

Even if the man tried hard to press the wound with one hand.

But because the wound was too big.

Intestines still slipped out from between the fingers.

This man's injuries indicated that he had no chance of survival.

The man was still injured and running for his life in the mountain forest. From time to time, he turned around and looked behind him, as if something terrifying was chasing him behind him.

The terrain in the mountain was complicated. The old man in black shirt accidentally stepped on a patch of hanging vines and weeds and rolled down the hillside.

Fortunately, the slope of the hillside was not high, and there was a dry creek bed washed out by a stream at the bottom of the hillside, so he could avoid being thrown to death.

But Ren still fell to the point where he vomited a lot of blood and no longer had the strength to stand up. He crawled out along the dry river bed reluctantly until he died of excessive blood loss and could not escape from the forest.

…

Jin An had already hid in the tree as soon as he heard the noise. He saw the strange scene happening in front of him the whole time.

Jin An had an impression of the old man in black. When he was investigating the tangerine peel case, he had learned something about the owner of the incense and candle shop.

This man was the owner of the incense and candle shop who went into the mountains with Taoist Wu Zang in search of the legendary cornucopia.

When Jin An first met the owner of the incense and candle shop, he was very excited. He almost got off the tree to contact him, so that he could find out the specific location of the coffin temple?

Fortunately, when the incense shop owner stepped on the air and fell, Jin An's excitement immediately calmed down.

Because he remembered the three taboos of walking in the underworld:

One, don’t be curious.

Second, don’t do unnecessary things.

Third, the living should not disturb the dead when they go to the underworld, otherwise terrible things will happen.

The main purpose of his trip was to find the bones of Taoist Wu Zang. Other trivial matters were just redundant and did not need to be paid too much attention to.

"It's strange, why is the owner of the incense shop here?"

"Is it a coincidence?"

"Or is it because this is also one of the residual memories belonging to Taoist Wu Zang?"

Jin An couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking about it. He had better find the bones of Taoist Wu Zang first.

…

swish swish——

The sound of messy footsteps was approaching, and finally, a wounded figure crashed out from behind the bushes and fled towards the mountain.

boom!

The terrain in the mountain was complicated, and the man missed his footing and fell into a dry river bed with a drop of one to two feet, and finally died on the cobblestones of the river bed.

Jin An, who was hiding in the tree, looked at the repeated death method of the incense shop owner with a strange look on his face.

The scene in front of me is a little too weird.

…

swish swish——

As a result, the third cycle came again.

Jin An followed the soul-inducing lamp and walked deeper into the mountain, his brows getting tighter and tighter.

"This isn't over yet!"

Jin An finally stopped moving forward blindly and stood firm.

He began to carefully recall all the details of his actions after entering the underworld. He thought that he had not done anything extraordinary.

And every time when he hears any noise, he hides early, thinking that he has not been discovered by the owner of the incense shop. Why is he always being targeted?

Jin An started to stand on the spot and looked around.

He should be trapped in some kind of illusion where ghosts are beating the wall. He has been moving forward, but he can't get out of this illusion no matter how hard he moves.

Just as Jin An was deep in thought, the sound of messy footsteps sounded again. This was the fourth time!

But this time, Jin An did not leave the place and hide in the surrounding trees as he had done several times before. Instead, he stood calmly in place.

In just such a moment of delay, the footsteps were already getting closer.

Jin An thought for a while.

He reached into his arms, pinched his two fingers together, and pulled out a yellow talisman that flashed spiritually. There were five thunder pictures painted on the yellow talisman.

Although the spirituality on three of the thunder maps has dimmed.

But even the two remaining thunder pictures are still so powerful that they dare not look directly at them.

"Five Thunder Dharma, all those who dare not look directly at me are evil heretics who violate the righteous Dharma of heaven and earth! Kill! Anyone who is afraid of my Five Thunder Pure Yang is a person with evil intentions! Kill!"

Jin'an thundered.

His eyes were as bright as fire, and he didn't hold back this time, looking directly at any evil spirit that dared to disturb him.

Just as Jin'an's voice fell, the seriously injured owner of the incense shop ran out from behind the bushes again. Jin'an stood still like a thunderous mountain standing in an invincible position in the world. He didn't hide or avoid, just blocked. On the mountain road in front of the incense shop owner.

The two faced each other.

But this time something strange happened.

Jin An's eyes were as cold as lightning, and he looked directly at the owner of the incense shop. On the contrary, the incense shop avoided his eyes this time, pretending to look back at the pursuer behind him, and did not dare to look directly at Jin An.

People actually make a half-circle consciously.

Go around Jin An and run away.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

When you dare to look directly at ghosts and gods, they will naturally not be able to live in your heart.

At this time, the world in front of Jin An blurred for a moment, and then returned to its original appearance. All shrubs and riverbeds were gone, and instead turned into a small stone temple leaning against a big tree.

The small stone temple is less than a person's waist high, and inside is a small and exquisite tomb beast with an animal face.

Tomb-suppressing beasts are famous for their eerie and terrifying images, which are inextricably linked to mysterious witchcraft. They are often used in tombs to deter tomb robbers and monsters, and to prevent disturbing the tomb owner's sleep.

Tomb-suppressing beasts include wǎng (wǎng) elephants that like to eat the liver and brains of dead people. Usually, the most common one is the animal face, which can ward off evil spirits and deter monsters, snakes, insects, rats, and ants from invading the tomb.

It is also divided into human beings (hè) with human faces and animal bodies.

"猲" means to scare away and stop tomb robbers. No matter whether they are living or dead, they will not reject anyone who comes. The human-like tomb-suppressing beast with a human face and an animal body is much more evil than the beast-faced tomb-suppressing beast like an elephant.

What Jin An encountered at this time was the beast-faced Tomb Beast, and he almost got killed.

Fortunately, what he encountered today was only a beast-faced tomb beast.

If you encounter an even more evil tomb-suppressing beast with a human face and a beast body, which knows people but not their hearts, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as being trapped in a ghost wall as soon as you arrive, and it will probably come to eat people.

The small stone temple is old and faded. It looks like it has been there for many years, and the temple body has been buried in fallen leaves and loess.

If it weren't for the ghostly light of the soul-inducing lamp in Jin An's hand, which was very conspicuous in this underworld with only black and white colors, and just illuminated half of the animal's face in the fallen leaves, Jin An would not have been able to discover this small stone temple in time.

Looking at this small stone temple, Jin An was surprised.

"Logically speaking, I am now guided by the obsession of Taoist Wu Zang, which is equivalent to walking in the fragments of Taoist Wu Zang's memories during his lifetime. Why is there another evil spirit messing with Taoist Wu Zang's memory?"

"Could it be that this small stone temple was something Taoist Taoist Wu Zang and the owner of the incense shop happened to meet on the road when they first entered the mountain? I just don't know if the two of them had Taoism?"

Since there is a tomb beast.

That means there is a tomb here.

However, the owner of the tomb only built a tomb-suppressing beast with an animal face, rather than a tomb-suppressing beast with a human face and an animal body. This shows that the intention is not evil. He just wants to scare away the sinister and sinister snakes, insects, rats, and ants that invade the tomb. No. It means to harm people.

Therefore, Jin An did not want to destroy this tomb-suppressing beast that had been waiting for the owner of the tomb for who knows how many years.

The owner of the tomb had a good relationship with him.

He should also have a good relationship with the owner of the tomb.

Don't do anything too hard.

When doing things, you need to know how to leave yourself a way out.

The five internal organs Taoist priest and the owner of the incense shop did not break the tomb-suppressing beast at the beginning. They probably had the same idea as Jin An.

Jin An thought that the reason why he was fascinated by the tomb-suppressing beast today was probably because he descended into the underworld with his soul at this time, and was mistakenly thought by the tomb-suppressing beast that there was an evil spirit trying to invade the tomb.

After this little episode, Jin An's subsequent journey into the mountains did not encounter any emergencies.

He followed the guidance of the soul-inducing lamp and walked in the mud all the way in the complex terrain of the mountain. In the silent and dead mountain forest, any movement of wind and grass seemed to be particularly loud.

Therefore, all the way to Jin'an is a small dirt path walked by people who chop wood or collect herbs.

If there is no road ahead, I will try my best to walk in a place with lower bushes and reduce the noise as much as possible, so as not to disturb more monsters and monsters in the mountain.

Jin An made a rough calculation and found that he had been walking in the mountains for about an hour. The mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was not as easy as walking on flat ground. In addition, he was trapped in the tomb beast for a while, so he only walked out this hour. About a mile.

"Um?"

Jin An suddenly screamed in surprise.

Just a dozen steps away from Jin'an, a high ridge appeared. The high ridge was not big, but it was the highest terrain nearby.

An old pine stands on the high ridge, like a vigorous old man, isolated in the mountains, overlooking the heaven and earth.

Jin An was surprised.

Isn't this the place where he buried the Taoist priest Wu Zang?

Jin An is very familiar with that old pine tree.

The memory of the Wu Zang Taoist's corpse soaked in blood, sitting and lying with his back against the old pine tree, suddenly came to mind clearly.

A month ago, it was Taoist Wu Zang who rescued him from the coffin temple.

Jin An held his breath.

He was planning to approach slowly.

But at this moment, the voices of several people came from the originally dead, oppressive, and quiet mountain.

And those voices came from the direction of that high mountain.

Jin An was surprised again.

He carefully identified the direction of the sound and saw that it was indeed coming from the other side of the mountain. He looked thoughtful.

Then, Jin An lowered his voice in the lush bushes and quietly switched to another direction.

Not long after, Jin An finally saw clearly that there were actually a few people under the old pine trees on the high mountain. He had not noticed them immediately because they were blocked by the old pine trees.

Under Jin An's secret observation.

There are three people in the old pine tree. Those three people are just like the surroundings. From head to toe, from their skin to their clothes, they are all black and white.

It’s the remnants of the dead soul!

Among the three people, the two old and the young were none other than Taoist Wu Zang, the owner of the incense shop, and Chen Pi, the apprentice of the incense shop.

Jin An was surprised and surprised when he saw that tangerine peel also appeared in the memory of Wu Zang Taoist.

Although he was surprised by the result in front of him, Jin An quickly calmed down and secretly lay down behind a rock to listen carefully to what the three of them were saying.

Although all three are dead.

But here are the lingering memories of Taoist Wu Zang, and you might be able to hear some useful clues.

Incense shop owner: "Now we are in big trouble. How come the only entrance to the coffin temple was broken open? I found this place a month ago, and everything in the coffin temple is still business as usual."

"The Great Dao is fifty and Tianyan is forty-nine. If the Shengmen can survive, it means there is still a glimmer of hope for survival."

"What do you think, Taoist friend Wu Zang?"

"Do you want to force your way into the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den this time?"

The owner of the incense shop looked at the five zang Taoist who was holding a compass in his hand, as if he was looking for the dragon's acupoint and feng shui.

Taoist Wu Zang held the compass in his hand and said solemnly: "Fellow Taoist Qiu Ming, in my humble opinion, the basin under our feet is not simple. I'm afraid we will not only have to deal with the things that have been sealed in the coffin temple."

"Fellow Taoist Qiu Ming, look at the surrounding mountains. They are natural gathering places for shade, also known as trumpet urns. The masters who built this coffin temple not only wanted to seal the contents of the coffin temple, but also wanted to use This natural terrain absorbs the yin energy and moon yin, and integrates the acquired filthy soil with the innate filthy soil, making it impossible to escape forever."

"The trumpet urn is a burial method that is detrimental to one's moral character. If we suppress it forever, I feel that what is sealed in this coffin temple may not be a cornucopia, but may be the bones of the opponent's enemy who have become evil."

"If I didn't hate him deeply, I would never use this eccentric burial method that harms others but does not benefit myself. It damages both my moral character and my longevity."

Chen Pi, who was on the side, interjected at this time: "Master, Taoist Priest Wu Zang, are we going to make it this time?"

Hearing this, the owner of the incense shop slapped his disciple on the back of the head and said seriously: "If the elders speak, no matter what the juniors say, they will definitely do it. Now we need to discuss how to do it."

After the owner of the incense shop finished speaking, he looked at Taoist Wu Zang again: "The terrain here is unique. I think this further proves that we are not looking for the wrong place this time. Taoist Wu Zang, do you still remember that there is another thing that you and I are looking for?" What is the name of an unknown name that is rarely mentioned?"

Cornucopia!

"Fellow Daoist Wu Zang, look at the mountains and rivers and the coffin temple under the basin. They all correspond to what you and I have been searching for!"

"If this coffin temple is really to suppress the enemy, and it is still the corpse of the enemy who hates it to the core, then why is there another door left? Isn't this unnecessary and only adding variables?"

"Actually, you and I both know in our hearts that we have traveled to so many mountains and rivers over the years not to pursue the illusory immortality. We do not seek immortality, we only seek to resurrect the loved ones in our hearts who can't let go of us the most, so even if it's just Even if there is a ten thousandth chance, I won’t hesitate to give it a try.”

Taoist Wu Zang seemed to have finally made up his mind: "The living door of this coffin temple was forcibly broken open. Perhaps the dead buried inside have been eliminated by those who were one step ahead of us. This trip may not be a really dangerous place. We can give it a try." try."

Hearing this, the owner of the incense shop turned to his apprentice Chen Pi and said, "Chen Pi, this trip down from the trumpet urn to the coffin temple is dangerous and unknown, so don't go down there."

Seeing that Chen Pi was about to speak, the owner of the incense shop interrupted: "You have just learned some skills, which are not even trivial. You should stop and listen to the master. In addition, the master has a more important thing to tell you."

"There are two candles in this chicken bone lantern. They are the soul lanterns of your master and Taoist Master Wu Zang. The chicken bone lantern has a strong yang energy, which can stabilize the last clear light of our souls and prevent us from being blinded by evil spirits. Just in case. You should guard this chicken bone lantern and don't let the candle be blown out by the wind. Evil spirits cannot blow out the chicken bone lantern, only the mountain wind can blow it out."

"But remember one thing, if you see the candle in the chicken bone lantern turning into a green will-o'-the-wisp, don't hesitate, run immediately, don't look behind you, run back to Chang County in one breath, do you understand?"

At this time, Taoist Master Wu Zang also gave his last words in advance: "Little friend Chen Pi, if anything happens to your master and me today, I have a few relics at the Changxian Inn, and I hope that little friend Chen Pi will deliver them to the state capital on my behalf." An old friend..."

It seemed that both of them had a premonition that this trip would be dangerous and dangerous, and that it would probably lead to a narrow escape from death, so they began to explain their funeral arrangements in advance.

Although they knew it was dangerous, they all had their own reasons for having to go.

Don’t seek immortality.

I just want to resurrect the relatives I miss most in my heart.

The mountain road was not easy to walk. With Chen Pi waiting anxiously, it took half an hour for the two of them to descend into the basin, and then holding torches, they walked into the calm and quiet black coffin temple.

What followed was a deathly silence. No movement was heard in the coffin temple, but the Taoist priest of the five internal organs and the owner of the incense shop had been in the coffin temple for a long time. Logically speaking, the coffin temple is not big, so the search shouldn't take so long...

Suddenly, the fire in the coffin temple suddenly extinguished the light and shadow, and nothing could be seen.

But not long after, in the originally silent coffin temple, an angry shout from the owner of the incense shop suddenly came out: "Tangerine peel! Run...ah! You evil beast, you are seeking death!"

Chen Pi heard the screams of his master in the coffin temple. He was so frightened that he did not run away immediately. Instead, he wanted to run down the basin to help his master. But at this moment, the coffin temple rang with the voice of the five internal organs Taoist's struggling resistance: "Run." …Run…don’t waste your life!”

Chen Pi cried out anxiously. He wanted to rush down to save people, but at this moment, the chicken bone lantern candle in his hand changed from red candlelight to a will-o'-wisp like green phosphorus in an instant. Chen Pi's body trembled. pause.

Kick-kick——

Cluck cluck cluck——

In the dark coffin temple without any light and shadow, there was a sound like something was gnawing. Holding the tangerine peel that had turned into a green chicken bone lantern by candlelight, I gritted my teeth and ran towards Changxian County crying.

After the Five Zang Taoist finished shouting, the voices of the Five Zang Taoist and the owner of the incense shop could no longer be heard in the coffin temple. Only the sound of gnawing flesh and bones could be heard.

It was cold and scary.

There was silence in the coffin temple for a while. Suddenly, a shout from the Taoist priest of the five internal organs was heard in the coffin temple: "Give Radhana! Save people from all directions..."

A streak of blood was like an arrow piercing the sky. The lower body was gone. The body seemed to be torn in half by some powerful monster. The Taoist robe was stained with blood. He held a shining jade in one hand and hugged his whole body with the other. The owner of the incense and candle shop, dripping with blood, escaped from the coffin temple miserably with the help of the escape light.

But the Taoist priest of the five internal organs had just escaped from the coffin temple. A mass of devouring black energy rushed out from the coffin temple as fiercely as a yaksha. It made a sharp sound and hit the bloody light in the sky. Two people and a jade stone in the sky were blown up in the air. The jade was exploded into powder in the air.

The Wu Zang Taoist was the worst, with blood spilling in the air and only half of his body left, and he fell on the Lone Pine Mountain.

As for the owner of the incense and candle shop, he didn’t know where he fell.

One died on the spot and the other was seriously injured.

…

Jin An, who had been hiding aside, was shocked when he heard the incantation from the Taoist Master of the Five Internal Organs. Isn't this the opening incantation of "Gift Technique" recorded in the "Secret Sutra of the Five Internal Organs"?

Can "Gift Technique" still be used in this way? Use it to escape by hiding from the light?

There are two Taoist techniques in the "Secret Sutra of the Five Internal Organs", one is the technique of detecting and retrieving objects, and the other is the technique of giving. You need to practice the technique of detecting and retrieving objects first, and then you can practice the technique of giving.

As for the Taoist technique of picking out objects, he had already practiced it that day in Jin'an, Chang County. He even specially conjured three winter pears for the old Taoist priest.

As for the gifting technique, Jin An has not yet mastered it, because guarding objects not only requires stronger internal organs, but also the cultivation of the soul. However, the "Secret Manual of the Five Internal Organs" only has the walking Qi training method of the Five Internal Organs Immortal Temple, and there is no soul training method.

So he is still unable to practice.

Jin An suppressed the surprise in his heart. He had been hiding behind the big rock to witness everything in front of him, and secretly peeked towards the high ridge.

After seeing this, Jin An was stunned.

The Wu Zang Taoist's upper body was tied with mudra, and his back was leaning under the old pine tree. He was actually facing him, but at this time, the Wu Zang Taoist had been seriously injured and died.

Jin An was in a daze, and he didn't know if it was a coincidence or an accident. He happened to practice the Taoist technique of "exploring the bag to retrieve objects", and the Taoist Wu Zang finally performed the corresponding "gift technique" after being seriously injured. If the "gift technique" No one was interrupted, so who did the Five Zang Taoist target in the end launch the gift? Could it be him who has practiced the corresponding Taoist skills?

Jin An looked at Taoist Wu Zang, who was looking at him face to face, with a peaceful face, no pain or regret on his face. He was shocked by his own thoughts, and stayed there for a long time without coming back to his senses. Is all this happening somehow? coincidence? Or was everything calculated in advance by the Five Zang Taoists?

Although all these are just the remnants of Taoist Wu Zang's life, which are in the past, not the present, Jin An still bowed to Taoist Wu Zang. He touched the Six Ding Liujia Talisman and the Five Thunder Evil Killing Talisman in his arms. As well as the concentric golden locks worn around his neck, he began to walk towards the basin under the mountains to slay the demons.

…

"Dad, dad, dad, come quickly, there is a temple ahead where we can take shelter from the rain."

"Xiaobao, don't run too fast. It's easy to fall if the road is slippery on rainy days in the mountains."

A father and son hurried into this wild temple.

"Ah! Dad, why is there someone here?"

A young boy of thirteen or fourteen years old was caught off guard and frightened by the people in the temple, causing him to scream and jump up.

"Xiaobao, stop running around and stand next to daddy... Master, are you here to take shelter from the rain too?"

Jin An was stunned by this familiar scene when Wang Tiegen and his son looked at him with restrained eyes.

Is this the obsessive memory of Taoist Wu Zang?

Or has the man-eating clay statue in the coffin temple recognized his purpose and wants to kill him again?
